Tottenham coach Thomas Frank committed an extremely unfortunate blunder before his club’s Premier League match.
This action is unlikely to make him more popular. Last summer, Thomas Frank took over as head coach at Tottenham Hotspur from Ange Postecoglou. Since then, the enthusiasm of countless Spurs fans for the Dane has been noticeably limited.
Many supporters are unhappy with his tactical approach, and there have been questionable team selections and strange comments during press conferences. On Wednesday evening, the 52-year-old added another chapter to the list.
Before the Spurs’ Premier League match, the head coach inspected the pitch. He was calmly drinking from a cup with the FC Arsenal club crest. That is the great, long-standing rival.
Frank Justifies His Use of the Arsenal Cup
In emotionally charged football, this is generally an extremely unfortunate action. This was compounded by the fact that Tottenham wasn’t even playing an away game against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium in London. Instead, the team was visiting AFC Bournemouth.
After the match, which Tottenham also lost 2-3, Frank was asked about his Arsenal cup. “I definitely didn’t notice. It would be completely stupid of me to take it if I had known,” said the head coach.
“It’s a bit sad that I’m being questioned about it. I would never do something so stupid.” It is not known who gave him the cup.
